*bubble sfx and water running in the background*
I couldn't really understand why the rabbit made me feel the way i did, i guess just a tiny disturbance in daily life was enough-- i turned to Jack and took a step closer towards the strange "creature".
James Karawei: "Jack... what the hell is this thing? Should we touch it?"
Jack Daniels patted me on the shoulder and confidently stepped forward, smirking.
Jack Daniels: "Ah, a prank eh? Let's see what this trickster has in store for us two--"
The moment he touched the rabbit it exploded into a flurry of at least a hundred bubbles-- each bubble was NOT normal, upon contact with the skin it would cause a mini burst of air inside the body which exploded outward, i blinked for a second and when i opened my eyes again-- the bubble rabbit burst and sent Jack flying backwards while his skin was being ripped apart by the bubbles.
*bubble popping and woosh sfx*
Jack Daniels: "WHAT THE HELL?!"
He scooted across the wet floor as his blood mingled with the thin layer of water, his skin and flesh having tiny pores in it-- i ducked and ran towards him as the bubbles clumsily hit a wall and caused it to burst with tiny holes, this was a crazy surreal situation yet i couldn't help but grin.
I ran over and helped him up, his arm was badly damaged... pore like wounds all over it and bleeding severely.
James Karawei: "Dude... are you okay?"
He dusted himself off and shook his head, causing his now wet ponytails to flutter before me, ew...
Jack Daniels: "Never felt better-- what the hell was that though?!"
He glanced back towards the sound of running water.
Jack Daniels: "At least they're gone... right?"
As the last bubble popped Cathy came out of the classroom into the wet hallway, her headphones around her neck, she looked us up and down with a sort of scowl.
She sighed and stepped forwards.
Cathy Ariston: "What did you two idiots do?"
She looked around, noticing the destruction of the wall and how wet the floor has become.
Cathy Ariston: "I'm not cleaning ANY of this up- HOLY SHIT!"
She reaches out to touch Jack's arm but he quickly pulls it away.
Cathy Ariston: "Dude! What the hell happened?!"
Jack Daniels: "N-nothing... everything is peachy?"
He gave her a weak smile and a weaker thumbs up with his other hand.
Jack Daniels: "We touched this weird rabbit and well... it kind of exploded? Should've known better than to touch it..."
The three of us turned to look at the dimly lit hallway as a new sound emanated from the darkness--a man's voice, humming a tune. This was one crazy situation, but for some reason i was having fun?! FUN?! What am i... Joker's clone? My life suddenly didn't feel so boring... and the thought of supernatural powers being real made my grin bigger.
James Karawei: "Um... should we see who is singing? I think we just found our culprit."
Cathy scoffs and steps forwards, grabbing me by my right shoulder.
Cathy Ariston: "Oh sure, go into the dark creepy hallway like it ISN'T a horror movie cliché!"
Funnily enough she started walking ahead of us and we obviously followed through the now wetter hallway--we turned the corner and found a strange man in a white business suit playing with the same dangerous bubbles from earlier, caressing them as they floated through the air in an almost hypnotic dance.
The Strange Man: "Ah... so you've finally gathered the courage to face me! Incredible!"
He popped a bubble and took a step forwards and bowed.
The Strange Man: "Magnificent if anything~"
Jack also stepped forwards while clutching his arm.
Jack Daniels: "Hey, bucko, did you do this to my arm? Weirdo's aren't allowed in our school, beat it or we're calling the cops."
Jack pointed at the man while forcing a smile, the stranger just chuckled and tipped his white top-hat to us.
Cathy Ariston: "Jack is right, if you don't leave we'll call the authorities! And what's with the getup? You look like a damn Dixney Villain!"
She put a hand on her hip as she bent over slightly and pointed towards the stranger, damn... we must stay focused brothers, we MUST stay focused.
Cathy Ariston: "We do NOT care if you play with bubbles, just do it in your own free time-- and somewhere else! Damn soap bar terrorist..."
She got close to the stranger and was about to touch him, he smiled and with a wave of his hand a big bubble came forth and burst, sending Cathy flying back at least 5 meters into some lockers--
She was injured and bleeding heavily from her head, she fell unconscious slowly as Jack and I rushed towards her side, seeing her like this gave me a strange new sort of feeling that i didn't want to acknowledge.
James Karawei: "Cathy! Are you okay?"
I tried prodding around her injuries, trying to help and failing.
James Karawei: "What the hell?! This is crazy... this is a dream-- it must be! There's no way he just did that! R-right...?"
I turned to look at the man as he calmly strutted towards us with hands in his pockets, laughing... like a damn psycho, strangely enough however his eyes glowed red... huh.
The Strange Man: "Ah... poor wittle girl~ My suit is more expensive than your entire school!"
He waves his hand dismissively before bowing and striking a pose, his hat is tipped forwards towards us as he stands on on foot, winking and smirking, ew...
The Strange Man: "I am Keito Nakamura, the 55th ranked member of 'The Syndicate', also known as...'The White Rose'!".
He took a more neutral stance with his hands behind his back as he donned his top-hat again, grinning.
Jack Daniels: "'The Syndicate'? Oh... OH! I know about these guys!"
He pats my shoulder and steps forwards.
Jack Daniels: "My sister works for them... damn... They're like one of the biggest conglomerates on the globe!"
He points at the Keito Nakamura.
Jack Daniels: "What the hell is a member like you doing here? And what's with all of these damn bubbles?!"
Keito chuckled and took two steps closer, twirling and popping another bubble in the air with his finger.
Keito Nakamura: "I'm here because The Boss ordered it, i am here to fetch either 'the boy' or 'the holy weapon'-- but you don't need to worry about that my dears~"
Just then more whistling can be heard from the other side of the hallway, a girl rounds the corner with a glock in hand as she struts towards us-- it's Jasmine Olson, the school council president, when the heck did she become a thug...?
*whistling sfx and walking through water*
Jasmine Olson:"Oooh~ What's happening here? A party? Without little ol' me?"
She giggles and raises the gun towards the man as she stands next to us, she loads it and stares him down.
Jack Daniels:"Jazzie! We're so glad you came!"
He tries to hug her with one hand and fails.
Jack Daniels: "This stupid weirdo came into our school and attacked us with... bubbles... look i know it sounds weird but can you lend us a hand? Also where the hell did you find a gun?!"
She giggles again and winks at him-- without hesitation she shoots at Keito which he uses a strange martial arts move to dodge the bullets, weaving around them as if he were a paper bag in the wind.
Keito Nakamura:"1st Step: Pouncing Tiger!"
He pounced forwards and kicked the three of us backwards, exactly like a tiger... huh.
James Karawei:"What the hell is this guy? LEAVE US ALONE!"
The three of us tumble backwards, me and Jasmine are the first to stand up.
Jasmine Olson: "We're going to have a long talk later about this Karawei... Hell of a welcome party if ya ask me, is this little wedding boy your personal clown? I hope you don't mind... i have an itchy trigger finger and i really want to shoot him... We'll deal with the consequences later, right Jamie?~"
She winks at me as she cocks the gun again, Jack tries to stand up but slips... yikes bro, get a grip.
Keito Nakamura: "My dear boy, you or that girl are coming with me regardless, Boss's orders are absolute."
He dashes forwards at an alarming speed--Jasmine tries to shoot him but he punches her in the gut with a fist covered in bubbles, the shirt bursting on contact along with her skin and sending her back, five bubbles turn into homing missiles as he snaps his fingers, they go straight after her.
Without thinking i grabbed the gun and shot the bubbles before they could burst on her and hit the man on the head, Jack grabbed Cathy and hoisted her over his shoulder as the four of us ran into the schoolyard of the school.
Jack Daniels: "We have to call the cops-- Jasmine are you okay? This must be a damn nightmare, stupid cocky wedding bastard..."
Jack muttered curses under his breath as Jasmine ran after us.
Jasmine Olson: "I'm fine Jacky~ Let's just find a hiding spot so we can talk... you have a lot of explaining to do! I can't let you or that maniac destroy this school, never."
We went outside as we heard Keito yelling after us, the schoolyard was filled with other kids... this wasn't ideal.
James Karawei:"Quick, we have to go to a police station o-or find someone... anyone!"
Keito quite literally slides on the ground after us making bubbles as he does, the bubbles bursting the ground which boosts him upwards as he jumps up into the air and creates a big bubble while stretching his hands out and making even more bubbles--in such a short time the schoolyard is filled with a bunch of bubbles... And he sits on the biggest one above us.
Keito Nakamura: "Now now! Don't run away... i am NOT finished~"
He stood atop his bubble and stretched out his hands, a bunch of soap chains connecting all of the thousands of bubbles as he prepared his attack.
Keito Nakamura:"Savage Garden: Thousand Thorn Burst!"
All the bubbles in the courtyard burst, students screaming and running at the sight, a great amount of wind pressure from the bubbles caused the nearby 20 meter radius around him to straight up explode with air pressure--it was a dangerous situation, sure... but for some reason i was excited, and was definitely no longer bored.
copyright ugh... oh and this basically is the name of that company in the lore, like in the canonic universe it's called Dixney.I originally planned on 25 members but it didn't work out well...
